To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wider knowledge has, as usual, led to greater modesty, and, since Davy^s day, chemists have felt less certain that the 80-ccdled elements are elementary. Contrariwise, in- creasing evidence of sundry kinds leads them to saspect more ^nd more strongly that they are all compound.

piece of chalk is higUy complex. A microscope shows it to consist of myriads of shells of Foraminifera ; shows, further, that it contains more kinds than one ; and shows, further still, that each minute shell, whole or broken, is formed of many chambers, every one of which once contained a living unit. Thus by ordinary inspection, however close, the true nature of chalk cannot be known ; and to one who has absolute confidence in his eyes the assertion of its true nature appears absurd.
